This is a beautiful garnet ring. I have twin daughters and garnet is their birthstone. I purchased a pair of garnet earrings as well and the 2 look great together!
I bought this because it reminded me of my grandmother's ring she always wore which was rubies. This looks like rubies to me. It is more pink than red.
This ring is stunning, and very lightweight. I was worried that the tip might get caught on things occasionally, but so far I've experienced no problems.
